"A terrifyingly real future that feels just a little too close for comfort."

— Goodreads Reviewer

The Motherhood Mandate is the second novel in the Unborn Child Protection Act universe, a near-future dystopian series that examines how ordinary people navigate extraordinary systems.

While The Fatherhood Mandate follows the father's experience, The Motherhood Mandate tells the story through Rylee Williams's eyes. Together, they tell two sides of the same story.

Marketing support includes author newsletter outreach, Substack content, social media promotion, reader review campaigns, direct sales through the author's website, and ongoing engagement with readers of dystopian and speculative fiction. The novel is also supported through cross-promotion with other books in the Unborn Child Protection Act universe, including Thin Blue Lines and A Ward of the State.

M.E. Wright writes speculative fiction grounded in contemporary legal, medical, and social issues. Her novels explore how laws reshape everyday life and how ordinary people respond when their choices become increasingly constrained.

Although The Motherhood Mandate can be read on its own, readers who begin with The Fatherhood Mandate will discover new layers of the story and its characters through Rylee's perspective.

Recommended for readers of The Handmaid's Tale, Future Home of the Living God, and other near-future dystopian fiction that explores the intersection of law, family, and individual autonomy.
